mechanism with the valve at one limit of its rota- (Cl. ISL-139) Fig. 8 is a diagrammatical view illustrating the operation of the invention, and

Fig. 9 is a diagrammatical view of the four-" way valve in flow reversing position.

Referring to the drawings, wherein .I have shown the invention applied to operating a plug valve of any suitable type, the valve-comprises a casing I having a plug therein-(not shown), and a cover 2 secured to the casing in any suitable 10 manner, as by'studs 3, agland 5 being secured to the cover by belts or studs 6. The plug has a stem 1 extending through the cover and gland, andhas a worm wheel segment 9, the hub of which is keyed to the stem by a key II and is secured againstaxial movement by set screws 12.

A bracket l3 issecured to the cover by the studs 3 and has a shelf H which carries the motor operating mechanism, for the valve and the motor control mechanism. The bracket is bored to receive an operating worm shaft l6 journalled thereon and having a worm (not shown) meshing with the worm wheel segment 9. The hand wheel I! is secured to one end of shaft [6 and has handles l8 thereon whereby the shaft I6 may be turned manually to open or close the valve.

The shelf 14 carries a bracket 2| at one end in whichis journalled a shaft 22 (Fig. 1A) having a pinion 23 at one end which meshes with the internal gear teeth 24 of the hand wheel n, and at its other end, shaft 22 has one portion 25 of a positive clutch of any suitable construction, the other portion 26- of the clutch being splined to shaft 21 to be longitudinally slidable' thereon. Shaft 21 is rotated by a rotary fluid motor' designated generally by the numeral 28. Any suitable type of fluid motor may be employed, such as a liquid or compressed gas motor, the specific motor illustrated being of the radial piston type driven by compressed air and including suitable re- 40 ducing gearing in the casing.

From the construction so fardescribed'it will be apparent that the valve may be operated by hand power upon diseng in the clutch members 2i and 28 and rotating wheel I! by the handles l8 4 provided thereon which rotates the worm shaft l6 and worm segment 8 torotate the plug. Or by en8' 8 8 clutch members 25 and 26 and delivering energy tothe motor 28, the shaft 21' will be rotated by the motor and through clutch memv hers 2i and 26, shaft 22 and pinion 23 meshing with gear teeth 24, the mechanical power will be transmitted to shaft l6 tooperate the valve.

The present invention embodies limiting 'me hanism and reverse mechanism whereby tne'operation of themotorceases automatically when the cylinders 35 and 36 (Fig. 3) having reduced assembled position. A cover 55 closes the upper of packing washers 18 are positioned on th stem valve reaches a predetermined position such as full open or full closed position, and whereby the direction of operation of the motor and valve may be reversed during operation before or after such predetermined position is reached. The type of motor employed isone in which the direction of rotation ma be changed by reversing theinlet and outlet connections. A controller is provided comprising an outercasing 3Ibolted to the shelf I4 by bolts 32 and has pipe connections 33 and 34 which arbitrarily are designated as inlet and out-- let connections respectively. The casing 3| has flat portions on its four sides through any of which the inlet and outlet passages (and the reentry passages hereinafter described) may be bored as convenient. The casing -3| has two cylindrical bores 31 and 38 connecting cylinders 35 and 36 with substantially rectangular entrance or valve chambers 39 and H respectively. Valve '2 chambers 39 and 4| communicate by valve passages 42 and 43 respectively with the re-entry chambers 44 and 45 respectively.

Pistons 46 and 41 are located in the cylinders 35 and 36, each piston comprising a shank 48 having a recess 49 therein to receive a packing ring and an enlarged portion 52 having a packing 53 of leather, rubber, or other suitable material, secured in place by a head 54. The pistons carry control stems 55 and 51 which have the shoulders 58 thereon bearing against washers 6| and valve facings 62 and 63,-the nuts 64 at the upper end of the stems 56 and 51 retaining the valve facings 62, '63, packlng 53 and heads 54 in end of cylinders and 36. 35

The lower ends of re-entry chambers 44 and have the bores 66 and 61 through whichextend the control stems 56 and 51 respectively with a loos fit. A bottom cover 68 is secured on the bottom of the controller by bolts 59 and provides a chamber 1| which communicates with reentry chambers 44 and 45 by passages 66 and 51, but is sealed from the exterior. A wall of bottom cover 68 is bored at 13 (Fig. 5) to receive a close fitting rotatable cylindrical plug 14 having a rock-. er shaft 15 extending through the bore 16 in the opposite wall of bottom cover 68. The plug 14 and stem 15 form a shoulder 11 and a plurality between shoulder 11 and an abutting wall of a chamber 1I may be filled with a heavy oil or with grease to assist in sealing shoulder 11, and lubrlcate the'rocker shaft bearings.

Plug 14 isbored to receive a rocker arm 86 held in place by screw 9| and having. flat ends 31 and 88 which are adapted tn'be engaged by the lower ends of control stems 56 and 51 respectively. The 'outer end of rocker shaft.15 carries a yoke 89 (Figs. 1,3 and '1) secured thereon by a set screw 9| the yoke having its ends recessed :at

. 92 and receiving followers or cam shoes 93 and 94 pivoted therein by pins 95 and 98. The ends 70 of set screws 91 and 98 are threaded into the bridges 99 of the yoke and engage the upper ends of followers 93 and. 94 to limit pivotal movement thereof. The end of stem 15 extends beyond the.

casing 3| and yoke 89 overhangsgear segment 9 2,258,585 (Fig. l) which has a cam track I83 secured by bolts" I84 to the upper side of the rim. The followers 93 and 94 are adapted to engage cam track I83 in certain positions of the valve for a purpose that will be hereinafter described and the set screws 91 and 98 provide a means for adjusting or timing the shoes 93 and-94 to drop off the cam track at the proper-instant.

Thedividing wall I I3 has longitudinal passages I86 and I81 therein which terminate at their upper ends in horizontal passages I88 and I89 closed on one side by cover 55 and communicating at their ends with the cylinders 35 and 36 above pistons 46 and 41. Passages I86 and I81. connect at their lower ends with valve chambers 39 and 4|. There are also two crossed passages- III and H2 in wall II3, the passage II2 connecting valve chamber 4| with cylinder 35 below piston 46 and passage I I I. connecting valve chamber 39 with cylinder 36 below piston 41.

The operation of the mechanism now will be described, with particular reference to Figs. '1, 8 and 9. It will be understood that the motpr 28 is reversible by reversing the inlet and outlet connections, so that the inlet and outlet designations depend on the direction of operation.

In the diagram shown in Fig. 8, the controlled valve I, is fully open, having just reached the limit of its movement in one direction. In this position cam I83 supports follower or shoe 93 which holds rocker arm 86 against the lower end ofvalve stem 56 thus holding valve 62 in open position so as to maintain valve passage 42-open. Cam. shoe 94 is not resting on the cam I83 andvalve 63 is closed by the pressure abovepiston 41, thus cutting off the fluid supply from pipe II4 to the motor. To open valve I four-way, valve I23 is turned to the position shown in Fig. 9- to reverse the exhaust and supply sides so that fluid will flow from supply pipe I24 to inlet pipe I22 into inlet 34 and valve chamber 39 and thence by conduit I I9 to motor I26.

As valve 63 (now in the exhaust line of the mo tor) is'closed, no flow can occur through the motor 28 until this valve is opened. Fluid pressure from chamber is conducted by passage III to.

the space below the piston 41 to raise the piston and open valve 63, the passage I81 allowing fluid above the piston 41 to escape by conduit I81 into exhaust line 4: The opening of valve 53 starts the motor 28 in the proper direction to open valve I, and cam I 83 rides under shoe 94 to bring the yoke 89 and rocker arm to substantially horizontal position as shown in Fig. 3. At the same time fluid is conducted from high pressure chamber.39 through passages I88 into the cylinder 35 abov piston 45, and as the fluid below piston 46 is conducted by conduit II2 into chamber 4| thence by pipe II4 to waste, the greater pressure above piston'45 tends to-close valve 52,

c this action being prevented by cam shoe 93 riding on cam I83 and holding rocker arm in the position shown in Fig. 8. 'The motor 28 rotates shaft 21 coupled to shaft 22 which him, through pinion 23 and ring gear 24 rotates 'the-worm on operating shaft I 6, and this worm meshing with worm segment 9 rotates the valve.

While the valve I is in intermediate position,

pistons 48 and 41 are elevated and valves 62 and 83 are open Fluid pressure above piston 48 'tends to close the valve 82, but closing of this valve is prevented by the shoe 93 riding on cam I83. The tendency of fluid pressure beneath piston 41 is to maintain the valve 63 open. When the controlled valve I reaches the closed position, the end of cam I93 is brought to shoe 93 so that the shoe 93 can drop of! the edge of the cam so that the pressure in chamber 35, above the piston 49 forces the valve 42 against its seat to become greater than the pressure beneath the.

piston. To reverse thecontrolled valve'the supply valve I23 is turned to the position shown in Fig. 8, so thatfluid under pressure is supplied through pipe H4 to chamber 4|, thence through valve opening 43 tochamber- 45' by conduit H9 to the motor. The valve 92 is opened by fluid said valve,an inlet valve, conduits subjecting said inlet valve to the differential inlet and exhaust pressures of the motor to urge saidinlet valve into closed position, a retaining member to pre-' vent closing of the inlet valve, and means actuated by the controlled valve for releasing said retaining member when the controlled valve reaches the end of its movement to allow the differential pressure to close the inlet valve.

pressure from chamber 4| which is conducted ,2

through conduit H2 to the cylinder beneath piston 46 to raise this piston and open valve 62, the fluid above piston 48 escaping through conduit I08 and chamber 39 .to exhaust pipe |22. As soon as the main valve has started to rotate. cam N13 is moved underneath followers 93 and 94 so, that the fluid pressure exerted through conduit |||1 above piston 41 can not close valve 93.

If it is desired to reverse the valve before the end of its movement, four-way valve I23 is turned to the opposite position, for example, as shown in Fig. 8 to reverse the direction of flow of fluid through the motor. Referring to Fig. 3, fluid now enters chamber 4| by inlet 33 and passes through valve opening 43 into chamber 45 and thence through pipe H9 to the fluid motor 29, thence by conduit H9 into re-entry chamber 44 and by valve opening 42 into chamber 39 thence by exhaust passage 34 and pipe I22 to waste. The pressure of fluid in chamber 39 now is less than the pressure of the fluid in chamber 4|. Fluid is conducted from chamber 4| through passages I01 into the cylinder 36 above piston 41, and fluid from the low pressure chamber 39 is conducted by diagonal passage H! to the space beneath the piston 41. As the pressure above piston 41 is in contact with the end of rod 99, the downward.

motion of the control rod 51 being limitedby the follower 94 abutting the cam III. The tendency oi pressure above piston 41 therefore is to urge valve member 93 into its seat, and when the valve reaches full open position, the shoe 94 drops oil the cam Hi3, allowing valve 93 to close and shut off the fluid supply to the motor 29.

The present construction avoids the use' of springs for opening or closing valves 92 and 83.

The exact position of the cam 3 relative to cam shoes 93 and 94 can be determined by adjustment of screws 99 and 91. Also the pivotal support for 5 shoes 93 and 94=allowstbese shoes to rock about their pivots to permit cam I to pass underneath without dangerof locking or galling. If

desired, electrical switches may be connected to be operated by rocker-shaft 16 so that a red Patent is:
